Okay so...
About the whole need people to ask certain things to trigger character stuff, I don't think that is a good idea.
I have done that before with one of my Characters, Anna. She had this back story I wanted to exploit for a long time and I hoped that there would be certain events that would have her reveal it sooner or later. But those events never happened and as I waited her character crumbled and she was turned into a bland character as Spazz said one time during the doctor who plot.
If you keep waiting for people to cause events they will only cause damage to the characters and make them appear not so good to other people despite how you view them.
And I know how it feels to think that people don't want to interact with you, I have felt that way before and still kind of do. But after all the Pms with people and hearing everyone's opinions I started to get over it and was able to post without worrying most of the time.
I am not attacking you in any way, shape, or form and if it seems that way I am sorry.

LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!Ram I haven't attacked you in anyway. I'm sorry if it seems that way but I haven't.
Yes I have criticized your characters. But please remember that you have asked for this. This isn't to frustrate you, though I can understand it is a little frustrating when someone brings up something they don't like about your character. Its the reason I no longer just give criticism out of the blue.
However, like I said, you asked, and I'm not doing it to be mean, I'm telling you about things I think you can improve on. Now I don't have anything else to say about this whole thing, but I'd just like to ask you to think about what I've said here.

I was not talking about saying things about my writing. I was talking more ooc things. "Tell me if you don't like me." That is what I meant.
It feels frustrating to ask for something, and then have someone skew it and dominate the conversation away from my original concerns. This is not how it was intended to be.
I did not want anything like this to happen. This wasn't what I was hoping for, but it's what I've gotten.
I feel nothing but even more apprehension to post, for fear that someone is going to jump down my throat and bring up every grievance they've ever had.
I will consider the things you've said that I think have factual basis, as I've previously said. Other than that, I have absolutely nothing else to say.
I'm probably going to go do something else for the rest of the day, and maybe tomorrow. I'm in a bad mood.

I'm not trying to belittle you or anyone. Please don't take this personally but that's how I've seen her talk. It always goes.
"Julie what's wrong?"
"Its nothing"
"Really?"
"Well... this is wrong."
"Oh well we could—"
"Its not...something you can just fix" ad infinium.
Also I never said you were trying to make fun of them. But your characters kinda do. And its just that utter lack of a real reaction to those kinds of situations that make them seem inhuman. You won't piss off the other person as long as you just explain to them that you don't want to do that. They'll understand.
